Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Poona National Park adventure.
These wild wetlands are an escape from the crowds along the Fraser Coast.
Lush mangroves and wallum heathlands circle the lakes and waterways of Poona National Park. It’s an idyllic escape for nature lovers, where you can enjoy woodland walks, admire wildflowers, and spot rare birds and frogs around the lakes. Explore the rugged trails in a 4WD, try your luck fishing along Kalah Creek, or set sail on a boat cruise from the Maaroom boat ramp. Camping isn’t permitted in the national park, but campers can find plenty of options along the Fraser Coast.
The wallum heathlands of Poona National Park are most beautiful in early spring (September and October) when colorful wildflowers cloak the landscapes. Summer temperatures can reach 30°C, so prepare for hot and humid weather, but there’s still plenty of shade to be found. Showers are possible at this time too, and trails can be muddy after rainfall, so be prepared.
